Songs

The male sings a burry song of ascending and descending phrases that can be rendered as chree ch-richi-roo but with much variation in phrases. Cassin’s Vireo songs are almost identical, but the first phrase of its songs tends to be more burry and hurried than in Plumbeous, which has a hoarse but slower song overall, very similar to the song of Yellow-throated Vireo.

Calls

Among the most often heard vocalizations outside the breeding season are harsh, raspy, almost grating alarm calls (cha-cha-cha-cha) that vary in intensity and duration.
